Evolution OF 3D Modeling
By : Andrew Tram

2010s
Texture Mapping - Matures into Multistage process
providing greater graphical realism by implementing
several shaders into a single rendering engine.

2000s 1996
Shaders - Became standard on Krishnamurty & Levoy
Computers allowing Widespread Advancement on
adoption of Normal Mapping, Bump Mapping that
Bump Mapping & other 3D imitates Light effects
of Bumps & Dents
techniques to increase Details
